The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself (2020)The coronavirus pandemic, the deepening economic crash, dangerously divisive political responses, and exploding social tensions have thrown an already declining American capitalist system into a tailspin. The consequences of these mounting and intertwined crises will shape our future. In this unique collection of over 50 essays, The Sickness is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics or Itself, Richard D. Wolff argues clearly that "returning to normal" no longer responds adequately to the accumulated problems of US capitalism. What is necessary, instead, is transition toward a new economic system that works for all of us.

"Richard Wolff's book is the best accessible and reliable treatment we have of what socialism is, was, and should be. It is clear, concise, and compelling. In a time in which socialism is more popular than capitalism among the young, we now have a strong and powerful case for why socialism is what radical democracy looks like." - Cornel West
A similar point may be made in a private democratic firm. In a workplace democracy, as in any democratic polity, the powers exercised by the management/government are delegated to the managers/governors directly or indirectly from the people over whom they may legitimately exercise those powers. The managers may not form a smaller self-governing unit while still exercising those broader powers. They may only be self-managing in the broader unit so that those over whom the managers exercise those powers are the same as those who originally delegated those powers to management. 2ff7e9595c
